Present revision has been pressed on the following questions of law: "1. Whether the assessee was liable to pay tax on quantities of damaged/lost cement which could not have been consumed, used or sold inside the local area? 2. Whether the cost of packing of loose cement carried out within the local area after receipt of loose cement from outside, could be included in the value of goods for the purpose of levy of entry tax?" 4.

In other words, sale price of the goods by importer, inside the local area, cannot be identified as "value of goods" under Act, 2007.
